Abstract

This industrial training report consist of three chapters that are introduction, training experience
and conclusion. This document is submitted to satisfy the requirements of BSc Engineering
(Hons) Civil Engineering degree offered by The Faculty of Engineering of Sri Lanka Institute
of Information technology. I got an opportunity to complete my 12 weeks at China Harbor
Engineering Company Limited (CHEC) and China Geo Engineering Corporation (CGC) Joint
Venture. The Project is known as ADB Assisted Greater Colombo Water & Waste Water
Management Improvement Programme - Project III (System Rehabilitation for NRW
Reduction in West of Colombo City). Industrial training is an important phase of a civil
engineering student life. A well planned, properly executed and evaluated industrial training
helps a lot in developing a professional attitude. As civil engineering undergraduate student it
was good opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge gained during the university academic
program into real world industrial based applications. I able to learn about the civil construction
activities, document related works as well as material testing during our training programme.
This civil construction activities include the sections such as pipe laying, backfilling, different
types of pipes, road permanent and tempory reinstatement. Management is a one key point
when we working at civil engineering sites. Civil engineering projects are not only faced with
technological problems but also management problems. Resource management, labor
management, and time management are also very important when we worked at sites.

1.7 Introduction about main project
The National Water Supply and Drainage Board has therefore launched the Colombo Water
Supply Service Improvement Project under the purview of the Sri Lankan Government and the
Asian Development Bank to address the existing challenges through a sustainable and a lasting
solution. Accordingly, Colombo will get an efficient water supply service, which will make this
service financially viable. The project costs Rs. 40 billion and the Colombo city pipe system is
about 960 km in length, of which approximately 60% will be replaced by new pipes. The
program is implemented under the direction of the Ministry of City Planning and Water Supply
and will be a sub-project of the Greater Colombo Water and Wastewater Management
Improvement Investment Program.

11 Brief Description of  Water Supply Distribution Network Improvement
Project and NRW Management in 14 District Metered Areas
in Western Area of Colombo.

 Laying of Approximately 99 Km. Of Pipes with

Diameters from 63mm. To 1000mm.

 Rehabilitation of Approximately 19.9Km of

Existing Pipe Lines.

Table 1.4 Project Details

The water supply system of the city is more than 100 years old and is not capable enough to
provide pipe borne water to the rising population, where a tremendous urban development
programme is taking place. Further, people living in low pressure areas get water only for 6-10
hours per day. In such cases, the water supply is also limited to off-peak hours. 300,000 cubic
meters of water is supplied to Colombo for daily use. The initial target of this Project is to
reduce the overall NRW in Colombo city from the current 49% to less than 18%.
In this project package, 3 divided into 18 District Metered Areas (DMA).

What is Non-revenue water (NRW)?
Non-revenue water (NRW) is water that has been produced and is "lost" before it reaches the
customer. Losses can be real losses (through leaks, sometimes also referred to as physical
losses) or apparent losses (for example through theft or metering inaccuracies).

Importance of this project

 This is a limited and weak water supply system that is not sufficient to meet the demands
of an ever-increasing population with rapid development.
 Saving money, environment and energy.
 Protecting the drinking water resources.
 Reduce or minimize the pollution and health problems.
 when the port city project ends it requires 25% of the water amount that Colombo city
needs.
